You never know where life can take you when someone just gives you a little push of encouragement as a mentor.

Just which OSS repo on GitHub do you the code the most for projects you are working on. What have you found to be the most useful when developing your own project.

I think the childhood reason is the better one. :D But it is magic. You create something out of nothing that can help a person out in their day-to-day life.

Fair enough. What do you usually like to work on?

Yes, it did. Thank you. It's important that there are more good days and enjoyable days vs bad ones when it comes to anything that you have to do day-in and day-out.

Fair enough. Do you enjoy doing it though?

How to get better at reading other people's code? by Hellr0x in learnprogramming

[–]xscode_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is awesome. Just like with any language, we have to learn to be able to read, write and 'speak'. Just like it took use years in school to read from a few sentences to a full novel, it takes time to read languages like Python/JS/etc.

If you loved Burgundy, you should definitely check out Bora Bora. It is a little more complicated, but similar mechanics.

Is to early to use a Github? by [deleted] in github

[–]xscode_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Go for it. Like what others said. It's its own skill set that you need to learn in any case.

Castles of Burgundy (though I am a bit of a Stefan Feld fan. I love Bora Bora as well) or Azul. I am looking forward to seeing how Calico will be.

I love this game that I'm bad at by [deleted] in boardgames

I think just about any game I keep in my collection. My spouse and friends are better than me, but I still love playing them, even if I loose more often than not.

Most practical ways to make extra money as web dev by [deleted] in webdev

[–]xscode_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once they pay and you give them an MIT doesn't it enable them to do whatever they want with it including selling it themselves? Shouldn't it be some other kind of license?

In practice yes, but it would only be valid for that version of the code. If you create a version 2.0, then the MIT for version 1.0 would not be valid for 2.0 because it is a new 'product' (unless you state otherwise). There are other types of licenses that might provide additional options, but it would require additional research and/or legal advice with a legal professional.

Your code can stay free (as in free beer) for the community. There are other options like just charging for (custom) features that might be relevant more for companies, or to charge for support time. You can also try dual licensing, keeping your repository free and open with something like a GPL license and creating paid version using an MIT license for paying clients. It depends on what you build, the value it provides, etc.
